Mammoth Overland’s ultra-rugged TL travel trailer has an insane amount of space

Over-specced, overbuilt, and spacious enough to sleep a family of four comfortably with room to spare.

Teardrop trailers have certainly come a long way in the last century, and especially in the last decade. The best off-road-ready models boast ultra-rugged designs built to tackle almost any terrain. The downside, however, is that their compact size means you’ll need to sacrifice interior living space, and sometimes, that’s just not a concession you’re willing to make. Enter Mammoth Overland’s all-new TL overland trailer, a beast of a travel trailer that’s Apocalypse-ready and roomy enough to sleep four adults.

On the outside, the TL overland trailer feels like a curious hybrid of a teardrop trailer and a compact yet rugged travel trailer. It is indeed both, and yet neither. Stepping inside, it’s easy to understand the TL (or “Tall Boy”) moniker. The tall interior provides 6’3″ of headroom and is plenty roomy for even your tallest friends to stand up comfortably. The floor plan is equally spacious, with room for a king-sized bed plus a modular couch that easily converts to a bed. Combined, there’s room for four adults to sleep comfortably or a family of five with small-ish children. That is an absurd amount of living space for a relatively compact trailer.

What further sets the TL apart, however, is the long list of luxuries. Adjacent to the bed is a Dickenson heater with an integrated ignition, making this a true winter-ready rig. More surprising is the legit indoor bathroom with a sink and shower with on-demand hot water, plus a portable cassette toilet. Additional amenities include power outlets (USB, AC, and DC) throughout the rig, a slide-out galley kitchen with a sink, an electric fridge, a dual-burner stove, and tinted windows for maximum privacy and temperature regulation. A beefy solar setup connected to a 2,000-watt inverter keeps all your favorite tech gadgets and the TL’s appliances humming no matter how far from civilization you’re planning to venture.

Of course, no “overland trailer” would be complete without serious off-road-ready gear. The TL boasts 33-inch BFG rubber, a Timbren 5200HD independent suspension, and even a pair of full-sized spares. Rock sliders and a 21.5-inch ground clearance mean it’s ready to take you just about anywhere. Exterior Molle panels, a modular roof rack, and Rotopax containers are all standard.

Mammoth Overland announced that it’s now accepting reservations for the TL Genesis Edition with an all-in price of $72,000. It ain’t cheap, but given how absurdly overbuilt and full-featured it is, it’s honestly not as expensive as we expected. Once the first ten models roll out, Mammoth will be offering a more toned-down version of the TL, presumably with a more toned-down price tag to match. Either way, a $1,000 refundable deposit is all it takes to get your personal build started. Production is expected to begin around the end of this year, and we assume the first deliveries should take place sometime in Q1/Q2 of 2025. If that seems like a long wait, look on the bright side: You have plenty of time to plan your first National Park campground stays.

This tiny travel trailer transforms into a spacious, multi-room overlanding rig
There's room for a queen-sized bed, a spacious slide-out kitchen, and a full bathroom with an outdoor shower.
Invader Duo X Off-Road Camper expanded and setup at camp.

Teardrop trailers are big on convenience, portability, versatility, and affordability. What they're not so big on is living space. Invader Off-Road Campers is bucking that trend with the Duo X, an off-road camper with a clever, expandable design that pops, slides, and automatically raises into a surprisingly spacious multi-room camping rig.

In profile, Invader's Duo X off-road camper is about the same size and footprint as many of our favorite teardrop travel trailers. Indeed, the 73-inch collapsed height makes this an easy tow down the tightest backcountry trails. But, the functional, ruggedized aesthetic is your first hint that this is something more. That size, coupled with a long list of off-road-ready features, make this a true, go-anywhere towable. The shell is primarily constructed of seamless, laminated fiberglass (to cut weight) that rides on 245/75 R15 all-terrain tires with 10-blade leaf springs to cushion the ride on whatever nasty trails you'll almost certainly be taking this down.

Dethleffs’ first-ever AWD camper bus is rugged, tricked-out, and trail-ready
The aggressive exterior belies a bright, luxurious cabin that rivals the comfort of most studio apartments.

A short decade ago, it seemed most RVs were either tricked-out, luxury-oriented behemoths that wouldn't dare venture off-road or stripped-down, functional, overlanding-centric rigs that forced campers to sacrifice comfort for go-anywhere versatility. But, these days, more of the world's biggest and best RV manufacturers are blurring that line. Now, Dethleffs is getting in on the action with its first-ever AWD camper bus, and it's a beauty.
Everything we know about Dethleffs' new Globebus Performance 4x4 camper bus

Germany's Dethleffs is one of the most recognizable RV makers in Europe, with a history that dates back almost a century. However, the Globebus Performance 4x4 is an altogether different animal than the company's iconic luxury caravans. The monochrome exterior — complete with blacked-out rims, a matte black bull bar, and a bold red Dethleffs decal — exudes an aggressive aesthetic that indicates this isn't your ordinary camper bus.

We tested Shine’s ultra-portable wind turbine, and you may want to rethink solar-powered outdoor gear
Move over solar. There's a new portable renewable energy source in town.
Couple camping with the Shine portable wind turbine.

Portable solar generators are all the rage right now, especially in the camping world. We're all for it because, well, renewable energy, am I right? But solar isn't the only game in town. Wind has long been an option for powering homes and even whole cities. The problem is that few devices knew how to properly harness it in an ultra-portable, camp-friendly size—until now. Meet the Shine go-anywhere wind turbine.
What is the Shine portable wind turbine?

True to its name, Shine's portable, 40-watt turbine is a compact, renewable energy generator that relies on wind to spin the turbine to produce electricity. The built-in USB port can be connected directly to almost any small USB-C-compatible device, including smartphones, tablets, portable battery banks, and more. Plus, the integrated 12,000-mAh battery doubles as its own power bank for those moments when the wind doesn't want to cooperate.
